Oh how I hate Kevin Trudeau
It’s about time. MSNBC features an article about the infamous Kevin Trudeau. The title: “Best-seller ‘Natural Cures’ sparks court battle.”
Imagine that. Kevin is back in court.
Read about my good freind Kevin and why you shouldn’t read his book here.
This guy gives a bad reputation to everybody who tries to sell a product outside “traditional” marketing.
Here’s who’s talking about this guy: KRON in San Fran, Tim Boucher, and iggert.com wants you’re opinion. Mine is above.

Thanks for the link of why not to read Kevin’s book. I couldn’t believe what I was reading! I have an uncle that’s obviously spent many hours watching the same commercial over and over again. Every visit my uncle makes, he spews the same crap almost word for word.
I’ve grown so weary of the topic, I’m not sure I’d take vitamins if I had to!
I’ll be keeping watch on Mr. Kevin from now on as well.

My favorite is the claim that “if the body is acidic, then you can’t get cancer.” This is absurd. If the pH of your blood is different from 7.4 (which is slightly alkaline), then you have some pretty serious problems that will ultimately result in your death.
There is a reason they pump you with saline solution (salt water) with IV. Salt water has a pH of about 7.4.
Even still, nothing you ingest is going to change the pH of your blood. So claims to the contrary are bald-face lies.

Actually, if your blood is acidic then you won’t get cancer. You will die before ever having the chance. So I guess Kevin CAN claim he has a natural cure for cancer: death.

I’ve wavered on how real the information touted by Trudeau can be, so started some internet research on him today. He DOES come across more as modern day snake oil saleman than an honest Joe. His information doesn’t have any depth at all, it is vague and elusive. If the book doesn’t offer cures, but does direct one to his website where you can spend MORE $$$ to ‘get the cure’, then it’s a wild goose chase and he’s shaking your hand while he takes the money right out of it and to the bank!!! Regarding his credit card fraud, which he attributes to youthful indescretion, he had to be in his late 20’s-early 30’s when it happened, therefore his defense is ENTIRELY deflated–maybe if he was in his teens it could be classified that way, but he CERTAINLY knew he was outright felonious in his actions and therefore deserved to be convicted and jailed. Gosh, I don’t even know him and I don’t like him….Makes me oh so dizzy, because I start by surfing his site, feel it’s all hype, find negative info discrediting him in several places, the last of which was this one, causing me to wonder if this isn’t all some kind of conspiracy to make me doubt my own conclusions–HEAVENS, WHAT’S A PERSON GOT TO DO TO FIND CREDIBLE INFORMATION?

The ads are served by Google and I have little control over what they serve.
I’m very clear about my dislike for his tactics and products. DO NOT buy Trudeau’s crap!
